The food and beverage industry requires the highest degree of process safety and quality assurance to protect consumers and comply with regulatory requirements. For decades, proving compliance has required meticulous and often cumbersome paper-based recordkeeping, but those practices are giving way to modern industrial data collection and management methods.
This pivotal shift is being fueled by a combination of innovative technological developments and regulatory bodies’ growing acceptance of digital recordkeeping, most recently the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for dairy records.
